Identity and Access ManagementIdentity and Access Management enables DIT to verify that individuals are who they say they are, whether or not they are affiliated with DIT and what entitlements that affiliation allows to the Institute's Information Technology resources. A student who is classified as an “external repeat” is not entitled access to any resources, other than DIT Portal, incorporating eMail service. The complete Identity and Access Management is available here http://www.dit.ie/media/documents/informationservices/docs/Dublin Institute of Technology IDaM Policies - Ver 1.0 - Approved - Signed.pdf. DIT Student CharterThe mission of the Institute emphasises partnerships between staff and students and working together to improve the quality of service and the response to diversity of needs. The charter outlines these partnerships in more detail. Read these here http://www.dit.ie/media/campuslife/olddocuments/DITStudentCharter.pdf Social Welfare Fraud ControlsStudents should be aware that DIT works with the Department of Social Protection to guard against social welfare fraud. It is an offence to claim social welfare payments you are not entitled to while attending a fulltime programme of study at DIT. Further information is available at http://www.dit.ie/media/registrations/documents/registrationsseptember2011/Student Awareness Notice.pdf DIT Student Alcohol PolicyThis policy adheres to the guidelines contained in the National Alcohol Policy (1996) and was formulated and adopted by the Student Services Council in 2002. http://www.dit.ie/media/documents/services/registrations/DIT STUDENT ALCOHOL POLICY 2002 and Guidelines 2004.doc DIT Student Dignity and Respect PolicyAll students have a right to be treated with dignity and respect, and the Institute strives to nurture and promote a culture of tolerance which respects diversity. http://www.dit.ie/media/documents/services/registrations/Student Dignity Respect Policy - 14 May 2012.pdf Health and SafetyThe general provisions of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 impose a duty on all employers to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of their employees at work by maintaining safe plant, safe systems of work, and safe premises, and also by ensuring adequate instruction, training and supervision. The Institute is also bound by the Act to ensure the safety of all other persons, who (though not employees) may be affected by the Institute’s work activities. Dublin Institute of Technology is required under the provisions of the 2005 Act to bring to the attention of all employees and students a statement of its policy, organisation and arrangements with respect to health and safety at work. Dublin Institute of Technology is committed to providing and maintaining a safe learning and working environment. This will be achieved by implementing an effective safety management system through consultation and through managing and conducting work activities in such a way as to ensure the safety, health and welfare of all. More information on health and safety can be found here http://www.dit.ie/healthsafety/. Student Counselling ServiceDIT provides a free and confidential counselling service.

MA in Criminology: Using Library and other Learning ResourcesDIT Library holds a combined book-stock of 200,000 items and subscribes to 2,100 journals across a wide variety of subject areas. The holdings of all campus libraries are available for searching on the Millennium Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) which is now fully web based. Membership of the library is automatically conferred on all registered staff and students and users may use the services of the seven constituent libraries. It is likely that students will rely for most of the literature sources on the libraries at Grangegorman and Aungier Street. The libraries at Grangegorman and Aungier Street are well stocked with relevant and up-to-date books and journals in the criminology field for short and long term loan. In addition, as part of the Strand III Project on Youth Crime in Ireland a National Archive on Youth Crime Research has recently been established at the Grangegorman site. This collection contains almost all literature on youth crime published to date in Ireland. The Grangegorman Library provides study spaces, networked PCs, textbooks and other programme materials, reference works and journals to support the programmes offered by DIT and to facilitate research. Information is available in many formats besides books e.g. videos, e-books and other electronic resources. Many of these can be accessed from any networked PC within the DIT campus (see below). Photocopiers and printers are also available. The Information Desk is staffed by qualified librarians to assist users with their specific research needs. The library at DIT Aungier Street is one of the most modern academic resource centres in the country. Its design takes account of changes in emphasis from teaching to learning and the new focus on a student centred learning experience. As a result the library provides a diverse range of study spaces, 8 group project rooms, 174 open access PC units, laptop facilities, a state of the art seminar room, a copy/print centre, AV Room and a new Assistive Technology Room. In addition to the literature resources available at DIT students may apply for an ALCID (Academic Libraries Co-operating in Ireland) card which allows them access to libraries all over Ireland including the extensive collections in Trinity College Dublin. Leading introductory and other significant textbooks currently in the Library at the Grangegorman site include:
Journals include:
Many of the above journals may be accessed online through the DIT library web-site or through the Criminology Subject Gateway (http://www.dit.ie/library/subjects/criminology/). The SAGE criminological database is a particularly important resource. Please ask at the library for further detail.
